Afghanistan: Qatar, Turkiye, IEA agree on ‘key issues’ to run Kabul airport

KABUL, 29 January 2022, (TON): Qatar, Turkiye, and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) agreed on “several key issues” to operate the airport in the Afghan capital Kabul.

A Qatari Foreign Ministry statement said “the delegations of the State of Qatar, the Republic of Turkey and the Afghan caretaker government concluded in Doha a tripartite meeting on the management and operation of Kabul International Airport.”

The ministry added “they agreed on several key issues on how to manage and operate the airport.”

The ministry said that the meeting in Doha came as a continuation of previous talks, the latest round of which took place in Kabul last week. The final round of negotiations will take place next week, it added.

Flights were suspended at Afghanistan’s main international airport in Kabul after the IEA took over power last August and the US troops destroyed equipment and a radar system at the facility before leaving the country.
